Why wear a tallit today?
A tallit (sometimes also known by its Yiddish name tallis) is a long shawl worn by men and women of the Jewish community during prayers and synagogue services.
If we wear these tallits, it's actually for a simple reason...
The interest does not lie in the tallit itself, but rather in its tsitsit (the fringes present at the four corners of the shawl).
This actually continues a commandment expressly cited in the Torah : “Speak to the children of Israel, and you will tell them to make tzitzit on the corners of their garments, throughout their generations, and they will put on the corner of each tzitzit a thread of tekhelet.” - Number 15.38
These particular “scarves” therefore allow us to prepare ourselves (both our heart and our mind) for prayer.
For the record, historians specializing in Jewish culture often associate the tallit with an unfortunate event that took place in Medieval Italy.
In 1493, the Jews of Sicily were expropriated and expelled, as unfortunately sometimes happened at that time.
All their property was seized from them.
Really all of them.
Before having to leave the island, they still asked if they had the right to take their tallit, clothing necessary for their religious practice.
This was refused to them. Since that day, this Jewish lucky charm has had particular symbolic importance among many communities in Europe.
Regardless, the fact is that wearing the tallit is an integral part of Jewish worship today.
By recalling one of the commandments of the Torah and by the historical message behind it, it helps us exalt our love of God and community.
